Sodium bicarbonate at 1 or 2% of dry
matter intake was evaluated as a means of
alleviating subacute acidosis, using six
fistulated Holstein steers in a controlled
acidosis challenge model. Steers were feed
challenged ...

Four ruminally cannulated crossbred steers
(882 lb) were used to investigate the effects of
temporarily altering the levels of alfalfa in a
high-concentrate diet on ruminal characteristics
during a bout of experimentally ...

Ruminal protozoa in cattle fed high-grain diets appear to contribute to the maintenance
of a stable ruminal fermentation. This was evidenced by higher ruminal pH's and lower volatile
fatty acid concentrations in faunated ...

Roughage level and method of corn
processing were evaluated for the propensity
to cause subacute acidosis in a controlled
acidosis challenge model. Four ruminally
fistulated steers were adapted to a high grain
diet, ...
